I wish the Gophers were winning and Pitino was the coach leading the winning squad but they're not. And he's not. These boys aren't simply losing by a couple of baskets - they're getting blown out. I haven't posted much lately but I've been around reading GH. After yet another blowout the tide has turned. Before last night I think the majority of folks were in the "give him one more year" camp but after the game last night I think the majority of fans have decided Coach Pitino isn't the man for the job. This team has given up on him and so have the fans. There will still be a few who will fight to the death that he should be given more time but at the end of the day they'll be very lonely.
I haven't given up on him. Knew this would be tough year and I'm not budging on my opinion he should get at least next year. Loneliness is a state of mind. I'll be fine.
